and Nice are frightened away 0y the
earthquakes, and are pulling their
brains to decide upon some other
place in which to kill the dullness of
the season OF fasting and prayer with
gambling and flirting.
The panic in Nice and Monte
Carlo was both horrible and anus
ing, according to all accounts, but
there is no humorous side TO it for
the poor inn keepers and tradesmen
Of that region, who not only have
actual damages to their worldly pos
sessions to replace, but who see the
prosperous season upon which they
were just entering bighted, and
their chances Of recouping them
selves utterly gone.
As usual just before Lent, the last
two weeks h we been full of we'd
dings, and ST. Georges, Hanover
Square, has been kept open most of
the time for the fashionable we'd
dings which it is customary TO Gel
ebrate in that sanctuary la mode.
As l live just 10 the rear it, l have
had the benefit Of as many as three
fully choral marriage ceremonies
in one day, and most of the time I'M
able to reach my door in hanson
because of the crush of carriages in
the street. No less than three
Guardsmen were married there last
week, and these added to the pomp
and ceremony the brilliant effect OF
a mounted guard Of honor.
Theatrically, too, everything is
very quiet, and the reignipg Christ
mas attractions will hold the boards
until Easter, when new plays will, in
many caEes, be put on for the season,
and in the hope that they will sur
vive until August. Mynheer Jan,
the new comic opera at the Comedy,
by the authors OF Erminie, has made
distinct success, aud while it is
presented in America will, | think
rival Erminie in popularity. The
chorus in it is particularly "tiue and
large" and so are the girls. By con
slant advertising for three months
before the production, the manage
ment secured great number of ex-
tremely pretty women as a back
ground for the amusing drolleries OF
Harry Paulton and Frank Wyatt.
Fay Templeton was defeated in heI
suit against George Edwardes, man

Injunction which kept her in the

Jr., was dissolved. She has there

Worse than that, she has put au-

ments here, aud furnished another
slur to cast at Yankee actresses
Billee Barlow, late of the Casino
New York, but originally Of the
Savoy here, has replaced her in the
cast OF Moate Crtsto, Jr., which ha'
been fresheped up with some new
songs and business, and still crowds
the house nightly.
The House of Parliament is still
engaged in the discussion Of the new
rules of procedure. AS usual, tn,
Irish members are filibustering anC
obstructive to the last degree, anC
are having their last fling at that sor
of game; for the whole gist of tn,
rules is to prevent such action oil
their part.
The Prince of Wales is on his wa,
back from Nice, where the earth
quake spared him kindly; and tn
Queen has come from Osborne II
Windsor, where she will remain un
til she goes to Aixles-B aius a
| Easter.
s ciety is Journal here which as
pires to be the fashionable organ, Blu
for some reason it has a rabid hatre,
of Americans, and not a week passe
that it does not have a fling at us ii
some way. The well known predilec
ton of the Prince Of Wales for Amer
leans is particularly cause of splee
to the editor of this publication, an
perhaps the more so because of tn
absolute impotence of the rage whic
it vents in sneers and snarls like tn
following, which | clip from thi
weeks issue:
"Undeterred by our friendly warn
ings, the Yankee women are packin
their stuffed corsets and their roug
pots ready to come and jubilee wit
us. 1t is not yet too late for them t
pause and consider if it is wort
their while to cross the Atlantic /
order to celebrate at the America
Exchange in the Strand. They wi
not again be allowed to push thei
way into the inner circle. An
memeutoes Of the Prince which the
take home this year may be put dow
at once as the rakings of the Mar
borough House dust bin. Not onl
is the Prince heartily sick of tn
vulgar antics Of the imported femal,
but it is rumored that he has Il
ceived a pretty strong hint frol
headquarters to cold shou der tn
intruders, with the alternative Of a
entire absence from town Of the pei
sonage most interested in the Ju
bilee. "
As a matter of fact. both tn
Prince and the Queen look with tn
iriend!iest eyes on American visitor
to England, and view their partici
patton, in whatever form public {
private) it may take in the Queen
Jubilee, as the return of an eide
son to his fathers house to assist {
family celebration.
la view OF the fact that there wi
be an even greater influx of Amer
cans into England this year than f
many years, by reason of the Jubile
and the American Exhibition,
word OF advice to some Of the il
tending tourists may not be amiss.
